 "‘Once again made India proud’: Twitter hails Neeraj Chopra’s silver at World Athletics Championships")
Neeraj Chopra created yet another history on Sunday as he became the first-ever silver medallist from India at the World Athletics Championships. The 24-year-old Chopra clinched the historic silver medal with a best throw of 88.13m in the javelin throw final. He is also the first male track and field athlete from India to win a medal at the Worlds. Legendary long jumper Anju Bobby George was the first Indian to win a medal at the World Championships. She had won bronze in the 2003 edition in Paris. Chopra had a nervy start to the competition. His first attempt was a foul and then he registered 82.39m and 86.37m throws to be at fourth after the initial three rounds. His fourth attempt was the medal-winning throw as he went 88.13m to jump to second place, and stayed there till the end. His last two attempts was also a foul. Defending champion Anderson Peters from Grenada won gold with a best throw of 90.54m. The bronze went to Jakub Vadlejch of Czech Republic who record an 88.09m throw. Last year, Neeraj had become the first Indian track and field athlete to win an Olympic gold medal at the Tokyo Games. Neeraj’s latest achievement set the Twitter on fire. Here are the reactions:
A great accomplishment by one of our most distinguished athletes!
